Meet The Team

The Apollo Theatre is run and staffed entirely by volunteers, as it has been throughout its 50-year history.

The theatre is now a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), which is funded through self generated income from the Apollo Players productions.

The theatre’s Executive Committee includes an Arts Manager, who is elected every three years with the remit to put together a season of plays for each year (September-August).

Some may dream of a career in theatre, but for others it’s a hobby which gives them the chance to meet friends, put on productions and find a unique way of expressing themselves. It is a relaxed environment suitable for anyone who wishes to come along, whether they have had any experience of performance or not. All that is required is a willingness to try, to want to achieve and to learn new skills. The sessions are ideal for confidence-building and learning to work as an effective team member. When not working on productions, the two-hour sessions consist of games and exercises that are useful in developing skills required for performance and public speaking. There are sessions on movement and character development, and we look at the different approaches of various practitioners.
